Happy Easter and Happy Passover! This weekend has been so lovely. Lots of time with DH and Molly and lots of sunshine! I have been busy stitching the past week and had one finish! Chewy!!! I was so excited when I finished him in Wednesday's class that I completely forgot to take a picture. His little teeth were so cute too! I will snap a few pictures when he comes home fully finished. While on the subject of finished pieces, my "Babies Sleeping" sign has not come back from the finisher. I am a bit concerned, but hopefully I will hear something in the next week or two. In the mean time I am plugging away on this new piece (I know, I know...).

A close up of the background is below. This has been the most difficult stitch I have done to-date because I cannot find a pattern. I know there is one, but for some reason, I cannot see it. The stitch guide was by Emily at Chandail, and I love it! I needed to stretch my needlepoint wings, so I am glad for some hard stitches.

I have also been working on him.

I love this Patty Paints St. Francis piece because of it's simplicity, the dogs, the religious element, and because I got it on sale at Chaparral. I have been having a good time stitching it too. It's a lot smaller and the stitches are so unique yet easier than the Labrador Inn. I love it!
